To start with, she is the key figure of the economic empire of the Karimovs and even more depraved adn wicked than senior. And her decadent lifestyle is a conscious provocation and humiliation, spitting in the face of the Uzbeks. She has her fans though: http://enews.ferghana.ru/article.php?id=979 I agree with Brian.

From what I've heard it seems she's mocked, even hated, by most Uzbeks, and I can't see her effectively winning any power struggle amongst the elites once her dad is gone.

As Ben has reported recently January 9 was the last day of Islam Karimov’s term as the president of Uzbekistan - at least according to the Uzbek constitution. And Constitution clearly states that “The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan shall be elected for a term of seven yearsâ€?. According to the Constitution and the date of last Presidential elections, taking into account the term was extended for two more years, the next presidential election date must be January 9 2007, which already is a part of history. The reason for that is the Uzbek parliament, which decided in 2002 that presidential elections are only to be held “in the year of the expiry of constitutional term of his power - on the first Sunday of the third ten-day period of Decemberâ€? (Constitution, article 117), which makes presidential term 7 years and 11 months. So, no doubt that current year is going to be decisive period of Uzbekistan’s history, even if the country meets the next New Year’s Eve with the same president. So many possible scenarios are being discussed by different analysts that it is really difficult to predict which of them is the most possible one. [...] [...] What is the PLAN?

Karimov may not give up his post even to his daughter “so soon�, but events which are taking place in Turkmanistan may make him think twice. Hi,

I have spoken with number of people from Uzbekistan (who is aware of what is happening inside the regime) and people in Europe about upcoming elections and what I found is pretty much obvious, his daughter is apparently replacing all key members of the regime with her followers and preparing to replace her father next year.

Karimov may not give up his post even to his daughter “so soon�, but events which are taking place in Turkmanistan may make him think twice.

What had we expected then? I think that Karimov's mandate will only effectively end the day that his, his daughter's and their cronies' bullet-ridden, mutilated corpses are dragged through the streets of Tashkent. Thanks Ben.
